It does not look far fetched at all. Current issues stem more from legal wrangling over who is liable than whether cars can drive in 'driverless' mode. I don't know what the future holds, but it is nothing like fusion.

Honestly don't believe that at all. The tech is immature and works only in a very narrow set of circumstances with a lot of constraints - it's so far away from being functional that the whole legal discussion around it is almost academic at this point.

Seeing is believing I suppose[1]. I dislike both Tesla and CNN, but it is hard for me argue from this video that the technology is immature. I stand by my original comment. The tech is here. At this time, the main question is who picks up the death toll responsibility.

Tesla tech is much less mature than either Waymo or Cruise.
